The longer this man's administration existed, the more I got a glimpse of what impact his "world-view" would generate. It is now becoming more confirmed.
As any individual older than this former president will understand, his actions over his two terms revealed that he was a divider; harping on racial and economic disparity as though it was something he could "change" because the lower class of society had no "hope."
Yet, and more significantly, his policies through his various agencies - the I.R.S. and Lois Lerner, the D.O.J. and A.G. Eric Holder, and the E.P.A. with the multitude of onerous regulations which forced many a property owner into the limbo of regulation nightmare - we have, with the election of President Trump who is the opposite, begun to see the left's resistance.
During the Obama Administration there was an initial mix of both conservative - Arizona - and liberal - San Francisco - attempts to resist, or establish, sanctuaries for immigrants. Of course, it was okay for San Francisco, but not for Arizona.
However, now that this trend has spread to many other cities and states, we are now witnessing a shift of attitudes in resistance to other issues. Now, many county sheriffs in many states are asserting their version of the sanctuary city or state concept to the second amendment.
This quote from a Wall Street Journal article expressed this sentiment in response to many states now passing legislation restricting second amendment rights:
“If a state or city can become a sanctuary for illegal immigration, then we can become a sanctuary for Second Amendment rights,” said Russell Shafer, sheriff of Quay County in eastern New Mexico.The social/political "pendulum" has begun swinging towards the other side in reaction to liberals in more locally controlled regions clamping down in response to the recent mass killings our nation has endured.
Only time will tell just how far that "pendulum" will swing.
